You are looking at a 1985 Saleen Mustang Car Number 85-0093 car was confirmed as real by Liz at Team Saleen way back when I bought it. I purchased the car from Genes Auto Sales in Delaware many years ago in its current condition and had hopes of bringing it back to its original condition . Well as you can see that has never happened as I have not had the funds and have had a few health issues the last few years. The car is mostly original with the original Hayashi wheels in good shape missing center caps though. Original wolf steering wheel in nice shape. Original Cal Custom Hawk Alarm. It does not have the correct shift knob and the radio and rear speakers are missing. The rear spats are there and in good shape .The side ground effects are there and are fiberglass but have cracks and need repair. The front nose is the original front three piece nice and is in very nice shape. You will note in pictures it is being held up by string as the tape has lost it stick. The Body of the car is in good shape for its age and shows some light rust spots in several location but nothing that has rotted through most is just surface rust. The rear shocks are the original Bilsteins and I believe the front are as well but haven't checked.the car has 55 thousand original miles but has been sitting on and off for many years. I purchased the car about 12 years ago from Genes auto sales in Delaware. I was told that the owner of the Dealership purchased it for his son in the late 80s from a Lady who was a Baltimore city meter maid. The owners son is who I purchased it from. He said his dad never titled it and when they drove it they put dealer tags on it. He said his dad thought that someday the car would be worth allot of money like a Shelby well that never happened and for all the years they had it his father refused to sell it for a fair price. The car sat and sat and the sun faded the paint and the decals and the car began to show its age. It looks as if it has been repainted on the roof and hood once and the decals look as if they were changed once.. The car was relegated to the back lot of the dealership when I purchased it. The motor is in good shape and does not smoke . It has a new battery in it but for some reason when I tried to start it today it just cranks and it isn't getting spark. The oil and the antifreeze have been changed several times since I have had as I didn't want anything to happen to the motor. It does have several exhaust leaks when it was last running and I believe the exhaust is original. The transmission shifts fine and the clutch seemed to be ok when it was driven around the block last winter. The interior of the car is in good shape other than some fading and discoloration of the plastic panels in the back. The drivers seat has some stitching that has pulled loose but that is about it. The rear hatch shocks need to be replaced as they will not hold up the hatch. The heater core has been bypassed and the A/C  did not blow cold. I want to be up front about the car as it does need work but it is an original first year production Saleen and are seldom seen anymore. The car is a great start for somebody that wants a fairly easy restoration. It would need to be trailered home as the tires have dry rot they will hold air but for only about a week or two before they start going down and the brakes should all be gone through since the car has been sitting. Please don't ask if I will part the car out as I will not it is a very very solid car that just needs the right attention.i want to sell the car to someone who will return it to its proper glory. I'm fairly knowledgable on this cars as I have had three real 85 Saleens one that I sold just last year and I have had an 88 convertible. Please ask any questions you have and I welcome and recommend you come look at the car or have someone inspect it. The car is being sold as is where is with no warranty. I request a 250.00 pay pal deposit within 24 hours of the end of the auction with the rest due in cash or certified funds before the title will be released. Good luck bidding and Thank You For Looking

2016 Ford Explorer order guide revealed

Wed, Jan 21 2015

The configurator for the refreshed 2016 Ford Explorer is already up and running. However, if you're the type of person that really likes to dig into the nitty-gritty of a vehicle's features, then the order guide for this latest Ford is now available (pictured right). While the documents don't list fuel economy, engine power or pricing, they give a precise idea of all of the differences separating each of the five trim levels: Base, XLT, Limited, Sport and Platinum. In addition to the tweaked styling across the board, even the Base model now features a rearview camera with a washer. There are also three new colors available: Shadow Black, Blue Jeans Metallic and Guard Metallic. Base, XLT and Limited trims are available with either a 3.5-liter V6 or new, optional 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. All of them are mated to a six-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive is optional with either engine. The new Platinum trim basically loads the Explorer up with everything imaginable. Power comes from the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, matched with all-wheel drive. Plus, the Platinum trim gets standard luxuries like a dual-pane moonroof, adaptive cruise control, a premium sound system and Ford's super-soft Nirvana Leather covering the seats. There are also some new tech features throughout the rest of the lineup. For example, an updated auto-parking system is also available on the Limited but comes standard on the Platinum. Furthermore, a 180-degree front camera and second-row USB charging are optional on the Sport but are standard on the Limited and Platinum. Check out the gallery for even more of the changes.

Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move

Tue, Dec 6 2016

With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.
